“We are One!!!”
Who’s we?
People who buy this kind of "logic" and always resort to race baiting to keep their members loyal:
....Civil rights activist and former union leader Bill Lucy called on members to band together to remove the temporary governor of Wisconsin and repeal the union-busting law he labeled a certain brand of evil. ....
June 20, 2010 (on eve of his retirement)".....[William] Lucy shared his thoughts about the future of the labor movement and AFSCME [1.6-million member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees ] in a telephone interview as the convention opened. Rather than dwell on labors myriad problems, I thought we could start with where Lucy saw signs of hope, but he quickly shifted to problems. Above all else for AFSCME, he saw increasingly a lack of support for quality public services, even though a strong public sector is needed both to support private economic activitywith infrastructure, education, maintenance of public order and justice, and much moreand right now to stimulate growth.
Nobody wants to pay more taxes, he says, but the public sector is needed to jump start the private economy. In the long run the stimulus will provide some relief, but there may be need for another stimulus. And generating more good jobs in turn makes the public sector viable by producing more tax revenue. What we need are good jobs with high wages and good benefits, not more minimum wage jobs, Lucy says. I would argue we need a high-wage recovery.
On the whole, Lucy argues Obama has done a good job under the circumstances with a crisis-ridden economy and an obstructionist Republican faction in Congress, but he was upset by Obamas public support for the Central Falls, Rhode Island, school superintendents dismissal of teachers when he failed to reach an agreement with the union.
Now public sector unions face not just efforts to contract out or privatize public functions but also right-wing campaigns to shrink government and its responsibilities. Most middle-class and working-class voters are, Lucy contends, more rational about the value of public services than somewhat more affluent Tea Party supporters, who include a large element who are just about as racist as you can get. ................"
